Flora of Uttara Kannada | ID request – 26Nov10AR02<\/a>:\u00a09 posts by 7 authors;\u00a0Attachments<\/font><\/span> (7)<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Local name. Ram Adike, Ramana Adike<\/b> (areca);\u00a0<\/p>\n
Myristica magnifica<\/i> (Fam. Myristicaceae<\/i>)<\/div>\n
(Hope the ID is correct)<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

Tall tree, 100 feet plus approx<\/font>.; fruit size-large, 7cms approx<\/font>; <\/span><\/div>\n
Areca farm,<\/font> Ameenahalli, Uttara Kannada<\/font><\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

This should be a palm!! from Palmaceae.
I may be wrong but fruits in your hand is seems much bigger than the one on tree…<\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

It is one of the Areca species, a kind of palm. The tree is not
Myristica magnifica<\/i>.<\/p>\n
\n

I\u00a0believe\u00a0this is Areca plam<\/p>\n

\n

Terribly sorry for the citing the tree as – Myristica magnifica<\/i>, an
IUCN threatened red listed tree species.
I still think the regional name should be correct. <\/p>\n

\n

Maybe Actinorhytis calapparia<\/p>\n

\n

<\/i><\/span>I have doubts for Actinorhytis calapparia<\/i>. This is not found in India.
I MAY BE WRONG THOUGH. Yes this is there in Indonesia!!
Secondly, I said the fruit may belong to a different plant not this palm.<\/p>\n

\n

I strongly feel this is Actinorhytis calapparia<\/i> only<\/b>.<\/span>\u00a0Previously this was known as Areca calapparia<\/i>, <\/b>Seaforthia<\/i> elegans<\/i> etc..<\/span>\u00a0
Though this is endemic to Carebbean, it has been introduced to S. Asian countries and has been in cultivation<\/font>.\u00a0<\/b>A reference can be found in Gardening in India\u00a0By G. Marshall Woodrow, G Marshall<\/span> (link http:\/\/books.google.com\/books?<\/font><\/a>).\u00a0 There are other references too.
The nuts are called ram supari<\/span> in Hindi and seems to have greater medicinal properties.\u00a0 It is also used in rituals in South India, especially during Upakarma.<\/font>\u00a0 <\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I agree, although the canopy shape is slightly different, to me it is Actinorhytis calapparia<\/i>.\u00a0In the past, we had a lot.\u00a0 But now it is hard to find, unless in the cemetery.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n
